Jurgen Klopp lauded Liverpool teenagers Stefan Bajcetic and Bobby Clark as they continue to make a striking impression in first-team training.
Bajcetic, 17, is a versatile central defender or midfielder who gave a fine account of himself in pre-season, while Clark, also 17, was also handed opportunities in attack during the summer tour of Asia. Both youngsters arrived on Merseyside last year and could soon make their competitive senior debuts, having been named on the bench in the Premier League this season.
The duo's chances of first-team action have been boosted in recent weeks as Liverpool have seen numerous players succumb to injuries. A total of nine Reds players were ruled out of Monday night's clash at Manchester United, which meant Bajcetic and Clark featured in the match day squad for the North-West derby.
